There's an ioctl to switch the console to KD_GRAPHICS mode. If you do that, no
more text will be printed by the console driver.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

With nvidia at least, try to limit you max xres_virtual to 2048 and the
maximum yres_virtual to 4096. These cards may hang when you the virtual
screen size exceeds those dimensions.

You should not touch the frame buffer device while X is active.

Hello everyone.
I have just figured out how to get ATI and NVIDIA cards to work with my
code. Now, when I use one of these cards, and I try to flip the screen
pointer around inside of the defined virtual display area, by changing the x
and y offsets, the screen goes blank. The monitor even flips to standby
mode.
With my Matrox cards, this doesn't happen and I can double buffer images in
the video ram for animations. What's the deal? Can I set up the card so that
it won't blank like that?
Thanks! James. :o)
